Beware! Sneaky Scam Uses Fake ‘Parcel Delivery Service’ Cards to Rip You Off
A dodgy scam is sweeping UK homes with fake cards from a supposed company called PDS – short for “Parcel Delivery Service.” The card claims a parcel couldn’t be delivered and orders you to ring 0906 661191, a costly premium-rate number.
Don’t fall for it! This mail scam links back to Belize and aims to drain your money.
